Increased keratinocyte proliferation by JUN-dependent expression of PTN and SDF-1 in fibroblasts
20 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
In skin, fibroblasts of the connective tissue play a decisive role in epidermal homeostasis and repair by contributing to the regulation of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. The AP-1 transcription factor subunit JUN plays a crucial role in this mesenchymal-epithelial interplay by regulating the expression of two critical paracrine-acting cytokines, keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and...
